Explanation

Directory tables use Scoped URLs. A scoped URL is an encoded URL that grants temporary, session-scoped access to a staged file. It embeds the user's current session and role context, meaning it is only valid for the authenticated user who generated it and expires with the session. Snowflake has three URL types for staged files: (1) Scoped URLs - used by directory tables, session-bound; (2) File URLs - permanent links for internal stages accessible by privileged roles; (3) Pre-signed URLs - time-limited URLs for unauthenticated external access.
